Newshttp://www.flashalert.net/news.html?id=1412#news119650Wed, 14 Nov 2018 11:19:43 PSTOn February 9th, 2018 Beaverton Police detectives started an investigation regarding the sex trafficking of an underage female. The advertisements for prostitution with the underage female were posted on the website www.backpage.com. On February 14th detectives arrested 28-year-old Mario Deshawn Hoggatt after he delivered the 17-year-old victim to a residence where she was to engage in prostitution. Evidence showed the victim would pay Mr. Hoggatt after each prostitution date and Mr. Hoggatt placed the prostitution ads on Backpage using his cell phone.

On the day trial was set to start, November 6, 2018, Mr. Hoggatt entered a guilty plea in Washington County Circuit Court to one count of Compelling Prostitution which is a Class B felony. Mr. Hoggatt was sentenced to 70 months in prison and he may not be considered for any form of reduction in sentence. After his prison sentence, he will be on Post-Prison supervision for 3 years. Mr. Hoggatt will also be required to register as a sex offender per Oregon Revised Statutes.

Human sex trafficking is a form of slavery and involuntary servitude. Sex trafficking involved individuals profiting from the sexual exploitation of others and has severe physical and psychological consequences for its victims.

Sex trafficking comes in many forms, including forcing victims into prostitution, subjecting victims to slavery or involuntary servitude and compelling victims to commit sex acts for the purpose of creating pornography. The average age that teens become victims of sex trafficking is between 12 and 14. Statistically, over 70% of victims are female and over half of them are children. Many victims are runaways or previous victims of physical or sexual abuse. However, any person, male or female, adult or child, regardless of their background, can potentially become a victim. https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/human-trafficking-prevention

The clinic will run from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM at the Kuni Auto Center located at 3725 SW Cedar Hills Blvd. Beaverton, OR 97005.

Motor-vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death nationwide for children ages 1-12. In 2015, 1,353 children under age 9 were injured in Oregon traffic crashes; six children died. It's estimated that car seats may increase crash survival by 71% for infants under 1 year old, and by up to 59% for toddlers ages 1-4. Booster seats may reduce the chance of nonfatal injury among 4- to 8-year-olds by 45% compared to safety belts used alone.

For more information about the proper fit of a child safety seat please visit https://www.nhtsa.gov/equipment/car-seats-and-booster-seats.

No appointment is necessary so please just drop in. Arriving early is recommended as we sometimes have more vehicles than we can accommodate during the event timeframe. Each car seat check will take approximately 30 minutes.

Newshttp://www.flashalert.net/news.html?id=1412#news117045Tue, 13 Nov 2018 11:54:54 PSTOn November 13, 2018 Beaverton Police officers arrested 24-year-old Ashley Lazorchak for DUII, Hit and Run and Reckless Driving. She was taken to Washington County Jail.

At 12:13 a.m. on the 13th, Beaverton Police officers were called to the scene of a traffic crash at SW Murray Blvd/ SW Allen Blvd. A witness told officers the female driver fled the crash scene on foot. A K9 track was conducted and Ms. Lazorchak was located near SW 150th Ave/ SW Village Lane.

A witness told officers Ms. Lazorchak was driving west on SW Allen at approximately 80 mph and her vehicle left the roadway just west of the intersection near the Rite Aid store. A member of our Crash Analysis Reconstruction Team evaluated the roadway evidence and calculated Ms. Lazorchak’s minimum speed between 82-83 mph. Allen Blvd east of SW Murray is a 30 mph zone and west of SW Murray is a 25 mph zone.

We believe, Ms. Lazorchak wearing her seatbelt properly, was a major contributing factor in surviving this crash. There were no other occupants in the vehicle. After taking Ms. Lazorchak into custody, she was transported to a local hospital where she was medically cleared. Ms. Lazorchak gave a blood sample which will be analyzed at the Oregon State Crime Lab to obtain a blood alcohol level.

Newshttp://www.flashalert.net/news.html?id=1412#news119443Mon, 05 Nov 2018 15:20:30 PSTThe Beaverton Police Department is participating in a yearlong National Traffic Safety Campaign again in 2018. The focus of this campaign is taking impaired drivers off our streets, keeping Beaverton a safe city to travel and live.

Officers were out on targeted patrols for impaired drivers during the month of October and made 35 DUII arrests. During the month of November, officers will continue their efforts to take impaired drivers off the streets of our no refusal city. This High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) detail was paid for by grant funds. Out of the 35 arrests, 8 people refused to take a breath test and a warrant for a blood draw was granted. Out of the people who were arrested for an alcohol related DUII and provided a breath sample, the average blood alcohol content in their blood was .15%.

6 Of the 35 DUII drivers in October crashed their car prior to being arrested. 16 Intoxicated drivers, which included the 6 traffic crashes, were found by citizens calling the police and 19 intoxicated drivers were found by our patrol officers performing self-initiated activity.

Drunk driving, impaired driving or buzzed driving all have the potential to claim lives and often will result in jail time. The men and women of the Beaverton Police Department ask you to please use a designated driver or find another sober ride home.

At 7:48 a.m. on Oct. 30th Beaverton Police Department received a report of a stolen vehicle, a white 2017 Nissan NV van, which occurred 2-3 minutes prior near SW Gem Lane/SW Cedar Hills Blvd. Officers immediately searched the area and located the Nissan in a secluded area behind businesses near SW Walker/SW 123rd Ave. Mr. Mayes was seen near the Nissan unwrapping boxes that had been inside the vehicle. Mr. Mayes noticed a patrol officer and fled the scene on foot.

Mr. Mayes was seen getting into a second stolen vehicle, a gray 2012 Mazda 3, by another patrol officer. That officer tried to stop Mr. Mayes but he fled the scene in the Mazda which also had stolen license plates from a different vehicle. Mr. Mayes is believed to have arrived in the area using the Mazda. Mr. Mayes then parked the Mazda behind the Dollar Store located near SW Walker/SW Cedar Hills Blvd. Mr. Mayes was seen by patrol officers in the Dollar Store and was taken into custody.

Officers recovered stolen property from inside the Mazda and will continue to locate the victims of those crimes. Mr. Mayes was charged with two counts of Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle, two counts of Possession of a Stolen Vehicle, Attempt to Elude-Felony, Identity Theft and Theft in the Second Degree.
